The new year brings an exciting development for the Roald Dahl brand with the arrival of a new games and puzzles licensee, as Paul Lamondjoins The Roald Dahl Estate's ever-growing licensing programme.

Stephanie Griggs, Licensing & Design Director, The Roald Dahl Estate said: “We’re gearing up for 2018 to be a fantastic year for new product launches, and we’re delighted to be partnering with Paul Lamond on this new range of games and puzzles. They’ve done a great job of capturing the spirit of Roald Dahl’s stories.”
